A Thousand Years Away
A Journey Through Faded Memories: A Thousand Years Away by Sunset Apollo
Lyrics
I remember the sights and the sounds, every word
I recall the visual and auditory memories, every spoken word
Every action was mine
Each action belonged to me
Every thought played divine
Every thought had a sacred quality
I remember the songs we used to play so quietly
I remember the songs we used to play with subtlety
Looking back
Reflecting on the past
Through the veil
Observing through a barrier or filter
Faded light
The brightness has diminished
A thousand years away
A distant time, a millennium away
From the life that we lived
Separated from the life we once knew
And now I'm underwater gasping for an ounce of breath
Currently submerged, desperately seeking a breath
One of a thousand
One among a multitude
I remember the plays we put on in the sand
I recall the performances enacted in the sand
Where we all knew our lines
Where each of us knew our roles
Good and evil defined
Moral distinctions between good and evil were clear
I remember those songs that we once played so righteously
I remember those songs played with virtue
Looking back
Reflecting on the past
Through the veil
Observing through a barrier or filter
Faded light
The brightness has diminished
A thousand years away
A distant time, a millennium away
From the life that we lived
Separated from the life we once knew
And now I'm underwater gasping for an ounce of breath
Currently submerged, desperately seeking a breath
One of a thousand
One among a multitude
Looking back
Reflecting on the past
Through the veil
Observing through a barrier or filter
Faded light
The brightness has diminished
A thousand years away
A distant time, a millennium away
From the life that we lived
Separated from the life we once knew
And now I'm underwater, gasping
Currently submerged, desperately seeking a breath
Praying for some air
Praying for air in silence
Silently going under
Sinking into the depths without a sound
